THE BIOLOGICAL AGE OF A SUPERMAN

By: | Tags:

A recent Spanish report announced that CR7, aged 33, has a body of a young man of 23, based on physical data and performance of the Portuguese Superman! This above average performance is directly related to the physical capacities of the player who only has 7% of body fat, while the majority of football players remain between 10% and 11%. On the other hand, CR7 has 50% of muscle mass, and the majority of footballers do not exceed 46%. But if all this is the result of many years of […]

Copper, being a trace mineral, is essential for absorbing, storing and metabolising iron and stimulating the formation of red blood cells. Individuals suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are often found to have low selenium levels in their blood.

Its not the total extra weight that makes us a […]
